Best Toyota Hybrid

[nato23]

Hi,

i am evaluating between a Prius 2013 and a Axio 2014. please need some urgent advice

[Komisiripala]

Urgent advise: forget both, go buy a Toyota gt-86, revv up to the limit, throw the clutch, and live your life happily ever after. Sideways.

Quickly! Go go!!

If you end up not taking up Komi's advice..flip a coin.

[Muditha420]

have to say both replies are good options... put a Aqua or in other words a Prius C in to your list

[iRage]

LOL...Muditha !!! now we need a three-sided coin !

But in all seriousness...technology wise the foundation is the same. So it all depends on what you are going to use it for (will a sedan, coupe or a weird liftback like thing work for the purpose) and other practical factors which you may feel important (which I feel would be things like re-sale value, etc...).

May I ask why a Toyota ? The Hondas are much more fun to drive (Fit and Weasel...I mean Vezel)

[Muditha420]

Mwahaha Weasel i always use the name when anyone wants to talk about it.... but in all seriousness that damn thing is kinda futuristic inside.... from my little dabble n test drive of the Prius...it is roomy n you can play a little softball match on the dash too.... eerily quiet except for the tires giving out a low hum aint all that bad.

But, its not anywhere close to any sort of driving pleasure though...its like a monk humming its way along the road, compared to my 4AGE screaming the nuts off when caned

Weasel sounds a lot better than "way-sel". That would make it the transport of choice of the Sri Lankan male gigolo.

Oh wait it already is...

i Dont know just thinking of the Axio cz its a sedan and since it is a 2014,

Hmmm...so only requirement is good fuel consumption? Seriously, look into the Hondas as well the hybrids were not as peppy as the gasoline versions but they were a lot better than the Toyotas. Test drove a few Weasels.do a search on the forum.

[nato23]

thanks alot will do indeed...

[Komisiripala]

Overall, jokes apart, I feel the fit hybrid is a real winner. Looks, performance, savings.

Any brand new hybrid won't retain market value after 3 years. You can't expect to buy it at 700,000 and sell at 1,800,000 like a Ti carina at-212

The Fit GP5 advertises 36kmpl fuel consumption which is what the Aqua advertises and more than the Prius advertises.

GP5 in my opinion has better handling, driving experience and looks. It also comes with a Lithium ion battery.

Crisco Nihal and his devotees advertise 18kmpl for their Premios and Allions

I do not know about the JDM version but the Jazz Hybrid in the UK gets negative reviews for handling, road noise and interior quality. Basically the car is a bi bouncy due to soft suspension, not the most stable at speed, and the interior plastics have a intefior quality feel and become noisy over time. This is what the reviewers say. Have never driven one myself. The Jazz is a bit of an old persons car in the UK It makes sense really, you don't want something that spends a lot of time in the mechanics when you are old and depend on it for even the simplest trips.

Test drove a new Fit sometime back..it was pretty okay for what it is. Personally I found it a bit more "clumsy and less nimble" compared to the previous models.

[nato23]

any more advices please... URGENT!

I would go with Axio if i had to choose between these two, it looks fine with some proper OEM styling accessories
